Keep your eyes open tonight because it could be your best chance this year to see a breath-taking display of shooting stars. The skies over Britain should light up as an estimated 80 to 100 meteors an hour rain down. The annual Perseids meteor shower happens as the Earth passes through debris from the Swift-Tuttle comet – but, as ever, the weather risks putting a dampener on things.
Never rains but it pours, huh?.. :lol:
Woohoo
Looks as though the weather is going to be just right for the show :)

Deadly Pneumonic Plague Hits Northwest China
In a town in northwest China, three people have died and another is near death from pneumonic plague, the Associated Press reports. The infectious lung disease was first detected in late July in Ziketan, a farming town in Qinghai province, the AP says. Twelve infections have been confirmed in Ziketan. The first person infected was a herdsman who got sick after burying his dog, according to the AP. China is among many of the nations worldwide that report cases of plague each year; pneumonic plague is the least common form of the disease. In northwest China, hunters are most often infected from contact with infected animals, the AP reports. (Plague is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis. The most well-known form is bubonic plague, which ravaged much of the world starting in the 14th century.)Ronnie Biggs, the Great Train Robber, has been granted “compassionate release” from his prison sentence, according to Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary.
The decision means Biggs can celebrate his birthday on Saturday a free man. It will be 46 years to the day since the robbery.Although the decision was made today, Biggs will remain on bed watch overnight.
The three Prison Service staff watching him will be withdrawn tomorrow, once the licence for his release is finalised.
Watch the rat pack move in.
Wouldnt be surprised if Mr Clifford isnt around :wink:Cath I see your point of view why should Biggs be treated this way when other offenders have got off light. This is down to the change in the judicial system , files of crimes are now submitted to the CPS , who then advise the courts on the sentence. These people live in ivory towers.
Biggs has never shown any remorse for his actions on the train robbery. He used his notoriety to make money whilst in Brazil. When extradition papers were about to be signed he fathered a child so that he was exempt from being extradited. A few years ago when he had failing health he voluntary came back to this country ( flight paid for by the media) to finish serving his time and also to get free medical treatment. So now he’s achieved that, he’s ill and being looked after by us the tax payers. As for the 3 prison officers maybe they are there just to see that no one helps him on his way .People who revert to their native tongue when they get stroppy
